A Letter From The Editor

To Our Loyal Readers,

Expansion is never an easy thing and finding a diverse array of voices to contribute to the world of film and TV criticism is just as difficult.

Well here’s the good news, we’re accepting applications for anyone who wants to write about TV or film in any function.  Straight reviews, critical essays, episode recaps, festival coverage, talent interviews etc etc etc, if you have an idea for something that you want to write about we’re open to any and all ideas.  We can help with access if needed to anything you might need, or if you just want a chance to see a wide range of different film and TV (and subsequently write about it) then we can help to hone your craft.

Here’s the bad news…we don’t have any money.  It’s strictly volunteer and for the love of the moving image.   Sorry…

Money…one day is the dream, but we aren’t there yet.

If you’re interested please e-mail us at info@intheseats.ca with ‘Contributor Application’ in the subject header with the following.

Full Name

Where you live (Just a city will suffice)

A writing (or YouTube) on line sample of any previous work you’ve done.  Or if you don’t have anything current, write us a sample piece (no less than 400 words) on anything TV or Film related.

Tell us why you’d like to join the team at In The Seats.

That’s it…if we like what we see, we will respond directly to those applicants.

Good luck and as always thanks for joining us In The Seats!

Yours Truly

David Voigt is a Toronto based writer with a problem and a passion for the moving image and all things cinema. Having moved from production to the critical side of the aisle for well over 15 years now at outlets like Examiner.com, Criticize This, Dork Shelf (Now That Shelf), and to.Night Newspaper. He’s been all across the continent; serving on the FIPRESCI Jury at the Festival Du Nouveau Cinema in Montreal, covering festivals out side of Toronto like Calgary Underground Film Festival, CUFF Docs, Slamdance, Fantasia, SXSW, DOC NYC, Santa Barbara Film Festival, New York Asian Film Festival and many others However, In the uncertain world of modern film journalism, David also knew that he needed to have a hand in writing and cementing his own contributions on the global film scene. Having eclipsed the 10 year anniversary of his own outlet, In The Seats, where he’s been striving to support film (and TV) from all walks of life and his podcast “In The Seats With…” where after 5 & ½ years and over 750 episodes he’s talked with a wide variety of filmmakers, actors, behind the scenes artisans and so much more on the art of storytelling for the screen, which is spawning the launch of a new show in the Spring of 2026. “ITS: Soundtracks” will focus on the use of soundtrack and score in film which he believes is a combination that is the cinematic equivalent of Peanut Butter and Chocolate. All this as well as hosting and moderating a variety of big screen events around the city, covering film in all its forms is just a way of life for him.
